4 Best Craft Breweries near La Crosse

“Best brewery in Wisconsin, great craft selection if you are looking for IPAs, stouts, sours, lagers, pilsners and many other varieties.“

“Great name, great beer, and even better service! Stopped right after they opened on a Sunday and there were only a few other patrons in their besides us. Very relaxed vibe though and I love all their branding.

Ordered a flight of beers and 2 of the 4 really stood out to me. While sliding the flight holder across the bar top it got stuck and one of the pours spilled. I told them they didn't have to replace it but they did at no charge which was very sweet of them. After we paid our bill and were finishing up they gave us a free taster of one of their other beers. One of the employees was even watching the football game on their phone and set it up so we could see it as well!

Don't sleep on Turtle Stack, it's worth the visit!“

“Sorry I did not post sooner. We were up for the Frostbite Beer Festival which was wonderful in its own right. We stayed at the Charmant Hotel which was just across the parking lot from Lacrosse Distilling. We had several meals there including a butternut squash pasta dish with shrimp that was phenomenal. Want to give a shout out to Addison behind the bar who was great. And Aaron too - the tour was awesome. I really enjoyed their barrel aged stout. It is on the thicker/more viscous side which I love. Thx for the tip on brewing this beer. Had several other beers which we also loved. Thank you again for a great time.“

“Pearl Street brewery is a pretty cool little brewery that moved into the old La Crosse boot factory; it's dark and industrial with low ceilings. They have lots of space with a little outdoor beer garden. They generally have 16 of their beers on tap with a few that well distributed. On my last stop they had lite, a lime, Brown, chocolate strawberry porter, orange hazy IPA, Hopped IPA, Pale Ale, amber wheat, hibiscus sour, citra IPA, Oat Stout, an aged sour, Belgian Quad, margarita sour, a double IPA, and a cucumber seltzer. The service and the patrons are friendly. It is worth a stop and you may catch a band on the right night.“
